Neither of these pieces were ever in the possession of Princess Diana.
The necklace is a Spencer heirloom, worn by Diana in public once in December 1983; on that occasion, all pendants apart from the central drop pearl were removed from the necklace.
The tiara pictured here is the 'other' Spencer tiara, which Princess Diana apparently never even wore.
The 'Diana: A celebration' exhibition has been touring for a long time, obviously continuing to give out the same inaccurate press information.
